Alite is an A+. Where do we begin? My wife and I searched for a home in Lamorinda from across the country. When we first met with Altie, he put us at ease with his knowledge, honesty, and responsiveness. Altie showed us homes in person and virtually in a smart, efficient way. After watching the market for several months, we hadn't seen anything we were really interested in. Altie understood our preferences, and when the right property came around he acted quickly, letting us know that he may have found the place for us. The house appeared to be exactly what we'd been looking for, so I flew out to CA almost immediately, and Altie and I spent the entire day together vetting the property. He was right—this place was perfect for us. We decided to put in an offer, and Altie was up all night working through documents when we needed him. Altie's knowledge and experience gave us confidence throughout the stressful process of completing the sale—a huge asset in the competitive Bay Area real estate market. He was both genuine and strategic from start to finish. I can't recommend Altie more highly.

While we were purchasing our house in Orinda the market was crazy with houses going quickly for $100,000's more than asking and buyers expecting immediate offers with no contingencies. In this high pressure environment you need the best realtor on your side to avoid making expensive mistakes. We found that in Altie Schmitt. Altie has his finger on the pulse of the market, knows every house inside and out, has a fabulous network and got the information we needed in time to make the right decision. We appreciated his level headed thinking. He actually steered us away from some properties that would have been not right for us. Excellent negotiator and well respected by other realtors and just, all round great to work with. Can't recommend him highly enough. He has already helped some friends of ours find a house who were also delighted with his services.

We love Altie! We consider Altie a personal friend - he is extremely professional and has a wonderful disposition that puts everyone at ease even in stressful home buying and selling situations. Altie helped us find a home that was not on the market and secured a private sale for us. We have no doubt that Altie's friendly, professional demeanor helped us tremendously in the negotiation process. He also made the sale of our current home seamless and easy. We would highly recommend Altie Schmitt to anyone looking to find a perfect home.
